    Hi zztopzztop,

    Instead of a new user account, you can move the public folder of music, and from there the two accounts are accessible and played.

    Check out the link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/sharing-files-with-the-public-folder

    If you want to continue copying, then you can copy if the default location for the new user account.

    Sign in with the user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.

    a. open the Explorer, click on organize, and select folder and Search Options

    b. click the display and check the option Show hidden files and folders box and click OK to save the settings.

    Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).

  • How to burn on a DVD + R .avi file in windows media player or how to convert the file, so it can be burned

    I'm looking to burn .avi files that I found in the torrent files downloaded using utorrent on a DVD + R disc.  I noticed in several forums that most of the people seem to have problems in windows media player.  Someone mentioned a program in Windows Vista that could be used, but I'm still in the stone age with Windows XP.  I took some advice and downloaded a program called ConvertXToDVD, but I don't know what to convert .avi files to in order to burn properly and play on a standard DVD player.

    Any advice would be helpful.

  • Play AIFF files in windows media player

    Hello

    I'm reading some AIFF files in windows media player. I get the error message "Windows media player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file."

    As WMP supports AIFF files I guess it's a problem with the codec.

    Is there a solution out there that I can play the files?

    Cheers, Matt.

    Where are the files? Are you sure that they are in the AIFF format?

    You can try to install FFDShow . If this does not help, please open some of the files in GSpot , this program will signal the audio codec used in the file. Then, you can report this codec here.
